That is terrible.  Can't believe the riser comes back so far where the roller guards are attached.

I can't believe they did it.  They made a carbon bow that looks way worse than any hoyt.

I'm not sure that is Way Worse than any Hoyt.  At least they know how to make a hubcap!  The bow is actually quite pleasing in person.  Not sure why it looks so poor in the photos.  Though PSE hasn't been really good with photos since the first Mach * came out some 25+ years ago.  Wait to judge it until you've got it in your hands.  It's quite nice!

I do have a concern as to whether they will be able to consistently manufacture it straight.  Seems simple enough in small run production.  But if it takes off I have to wonder if full run production can maintain a high level tolerance PSE bows really need.

Notice it has the HD cam?  Dang genius there!!!  I'd like to take every single bow I have and put that HD cam on them.

$1,400 is still flippin' crazy for a bow with the life span of a Microsoft operating system or an IPhone.  Way too many great bows being made these days for under $799 to get too excited about a bow only .4 to .6 pounds lighter.  That's over $100 per ounce shaved.  I could probably gold plate the cams on a Source (discontinued for 2016  >:( >:() and still save a few bucks!

I believe that would be Diamond (pre-Bowtech).

My local shop will have them in 1st of Nov me and my buddy will be down there trying the Carbon Air out. I already told the owner to put my name on one pending how it shoots. I love the look. It is sleek and sexy, good curves and flows well. Already some great reviews are coming out about how nice it is to shoot. dead in the hand rock solid and suprisingly easy to hold on target given its 3.2 lbs frame. I am excited about this bow. So much so I am gonna come out of Compound retirement.  :tup:

Unless something falls on my head and nocks some sense into a current void I expect to be shooting a PSE opening day of 2016.  Last time that happened I was shooting a Lazer-Flite, 2115 X-7's from an over-draw, TM Hunter rest and Savora Swept-Wing broadheads.  Half my lifetime ago!

Might not be a carbon bow (horrible brace height), though I do have a couple on order.  But I guarantee whatever PSE it is it will have the HD cam on it and a great grip!

I still have an Easton Gamegetter I stabilizer I have been dying to get back in the field.  Should work perfectly on that carbon bow.  Might be sort of fun to outfit that thing with a bunch of 80's accessories.  I think I still have a Mongoose 5 pin sight and eight arrow quiver.  Too bad the brace height sucks so bad it won't allow a 3" overdraw, 3-D rover rest and FFP418 vanes  :(    Maybe I'll order one in 50# and dig out the old X7's.  Shoot it at 235 fps and go kill me a monster!  Guys at the local shop wouldn't know what to think...other than I've lost my mind! :chuckle:
